Vista Aero: How to change Taskbar colour?

Relatively simple question,

I want to change the taskbar colour in Vista Aero. Apparently this is not a standard thing you can change for some reason. Seems I'll need some external solution to do this. What do you folks recommend?

    Aero does let you mess with it somewhat (of course, it changes the color of the titlebars, etc, too.) Just go to Control Panel -> Personalization -> Window Color and Appearance. Then turn off transparency, choose a different color and increase the color intensity until it's to your liking.

    Apologies if you've already discovered this. The only other thing I was able to find is an app called VistaGlazz, but I don't know if it'll do what you want.

    Otherwise you're left w/ messing w/ the uxtheme stuff (which is, I guess, similar to XP... I just don't have a desire to mess with it at the moment :))

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
